Be part of the Change!
AFPF was founded in 1981 as a US 501(c)3 in Concord, Massachusetts. We fundraise and network to support sustainable development, innovations, and education in Africa to empower rural communities in Africa. We envision an African continent where rural communities are socially and economically self-sufficient and self-sustaining. We support access to education for women and girls, food security, entrepreneurship, social welfare, and environmental sustainability.
Because thousands of rural girls are more likely to drop out of school due to social, cultural, or economic circumstances, we work in Africa to help rural girls and young women access education and become socially and economically self-sufficient by harnessing their inner creativity to help them create the lives they want to achieve health, peace, wealth, and prosperity for themselves, their families, and their community.
BE PART OF THE NEXT HOPE FOR AFRICA
AFPF was founded in 1981 as a US 501(c)3 to support community development in Uganda. In 1987, the Uganda Rural Development and Training Programme (URDT) and AFPF launched a strategic intervention for linking education and a liberating methodology to transform the quality of life in rural Uganda and Africa. Leaders of both organizations sat on each other’s boards as co-creators. Out of this collaboration, URDT developed tactical education institutions as carriers and pathways for propagating the Visionary Approach and giving national and regional visibility.

“Uganda is far, far away, both in the distance and in terms of how we live here in the U.S. Yet URDT/AFPF is one of my largest charitable beneficiaries contributing to human benefit, well organized and well managed. Any amount I can donate to AFPF/URDT changes more lives for the better than any domestic philanthropy could achieve.... I imagine a day when there will be a network of rural universities based on URDT’s model through thedeveloping world ".
